This year’s ride will include:
• 30- and 60-mile route options
• FHP escort support
• SAG vehicles and stocked rest stops
• Custom rider jersey, water bottles, and socks
• Expanded ride logistics and coordination
Finish-line BBQ celebration for riders, families, and supporters.
Riders register with a $150 entry fee and commit to raising a minimum of $1,500, helping directly support Friendship House programs that build friendship, inclusion, and community for children and young adults with special needs.
“Last year showed us what’s possible when people come together around a meaningful cause,” said Rabbi Sholom Kessler, Founder and Executive Director of Friendship House.
Founded in 2020, Friendship House is a nonprofit dedicated to building an inclusive community for children, teens, and young adults with special needs through social, recreational, and community-based programming designed to break the cycle of isolation.
